Re: Ellen Still Feud Fodder

They should fire the whole Jay Leno staff!!!
Fuck the WGA, let them die. I want the union busted wide open! Fire everyone who doesn't show up for work.
If the Teamsters continue to use their union trucks to support Production Film Companies during the strike,
then the Teamsters are not supporting the WGA union so why should Ellen DeGeneres?
The Teamsters are a bunch of SCABS!!!! Besides they are a bunch of FAGS, they continue to use
Teamsters trucks during the strike. I don't call that solidarity, I call that...a bunch of gangsters.
Tell WGA to tell the Teamsters to STOP using their truks to cross the picket lines! Or tell the WGA
to go fuck themselves like Ellen DeGeneres is telling them to.
The Starmaker (union busters R us)
Don't fire Jay, I like Jay....we don't need no fuckin stinkin writers. (writers are a dime a dozen)

Who was it who said about Jay Leno, "He couldn't ad lib a
fart after a dinner of beans."
The Starmaker
they initially "guaranteed," the Writers would have the Alliance by the throat.
Guranteed? Do you know what "guaranteed" means in Teamsters language, "Fuck You"!
"Doncha worryaboutit, we guaranteeit!"
"Bada Bing bada boom!"
"forgetaboutit, it's guatanteed!"
The Starmaker
I don't know who said it, why don't you tell us who said it, or are you just fuckin lying?

Teamster drivers began spreading reports of large numbers of writer-slash-producers already crossing the picket lines.
("Hey, if they won't support their own strike, why should I risk my job for it?").

and an afternoon session) from 1-5), some Teamster drivers began making deliveries earlier than usual,
before the picketers showed up...
But let's be fair, ...both unions are rotten to the core..
..in 1988 the WGA union refused to honor Teamster union picket lines..
WGA is a SCAB!
Ellen DeGeneres is my kind of chick...I like girls who eat things that start with the letter p.

West of "using fear and intimidation to control its membership"."
Everybody knows the WGA is a gangster union. It's run by gangsters. It uses the same techniques that gangsters use,
"fear and intimidation".
That how the Mafia controls it's members and it's clients, through fear and intimidation.

I remember it from the book 'The Late Shift' by Bill Carter and
have read it since on the internet. Give me a couple of days to
do some research to find out who said and I'll report back to you.

I got to admit I was wrong.
The line "couldn't ad lib a fart after a dinner of beans" was said
by Johnny Carson about Chevy Chase. Carson admitted it in
Rolling Stone interview, printed on 3/22/79, well before anybody
ever heard of Leno.
Though I was wrong about the target of the original quote, it
certainly applies to Leno.
The Starmaker
There is no certaintly that it certaintly applies to Leno, ...you're just stating an opinion of yours, not
anyone elses...that is certain.
